The most inappropriate remarks from Jehovahs Witnesses
by jambon1 ini have a few which still either anger me, make me sad or just make me grateful that i am no longer one of them.
1 - "well, everyone is going to die anyway, so if it at armageddon then ce la vie" 2 - "the disater today at the world trade centre is sad, but exciting" 3 - (an elder) "when armageddon happens, i want to be at a window, watching it all".
sick, sick, sick!

What a great read! Thanks for sharing everyone. Ive heard some doozies like these over the years too. Still gives me goosebumps when ignorant people make ignorant comments. They act so holy...and better than everyone else. Detestable!

those oh so spritual answers...
by tigeress ini had my own flash of light the other day.
i realised somthing about sister perfect, you know the type who would perfectly hold her nose above everyone else, and occasionaly condesend to talk to one of us lowly ones, she was so perfect she farted chanel no 5!.
the other thing she would do was those oh so spirtaul answers, the ones with the whole paragraph and watchtower inculded in it.

I cant help but sit and roll my eyes when people answer like parrots. Its so boring! All they do is swap the words around, flip one sentence to the top and then say the bottom one first...lol. Then they read the quoted scripture and voila....they are envied/admired by many. Then there are those that sit there thinking 'blah!!!'
My brother used to answer 'from the heart'. He rarely used words from the paragraph, or scriptures. He just told it as it was, and he was so eloquent at it. I admired him, not those sis/bros who harp on about words from the paragraph that they've just switched from one sentence to another.

Apprehension about the holidays
by greenie inso...i've been feeling a tightness in my chest thinking about the upcoming holiday season.
you know, october = halloween; november=thanksgiving; december=christmas, etc.
i'm not sure how to approach them with my dub (for those who don't know, i'm a non-jw, never have been one, never will be).

Ive been a witness my entire life, yet we've often gone to family's xmas dinners etc. We always viewed it as just 'dinner', not a celebration. It helped that they werent into carols and opening pressies. They always did that before we got there. Also, my grandparents would often invite us over the day after xmas, for dinner, and hand out presents to my siblings and I. We were allowed to accept them as 'presents', not xmas presents. Lol...cutting it fine dont you think..
If he's gone along with it before, no reason to think he wont now. Just start planning and preparing as you normally would. He knows your beliefs, and you know his. So, he will respect you Im sure. Its his choice whether he attends or not....

Over here, the brother gets in the water with the one getting baptised. Is that done where you are? Or do they dunk from the pool edge?

Hitler Forgiven ?
by Inkie inpoppers writes in the thread entitled: a conversation that sent me on a search, on page 489. .
but ask about hitler, stalin and queen ( bloody) mary of england and they would say that they didn't know, or that they would be resserected and given 1000 years to change their ways.... does anyone think that if the hitlers and stalins of history were resurrected and given 1000 years to change their ways that they actually would?
it seems to me they would end up doing lots of terrible stuff during their 1000 years.

I totally agree with the judging thing. Best leave that to Jehovah and Jesus, because imperfect humans are just not qualified to do it.

I was always under the impression he wouldn't be resurrected because he directly attacked God's people. At least, that's what I was brought up to believe.

Unloaded on the husband of my wife's study sister last night, how much damage did I do to myself??
by insearchoftruth inwell had a really good weekend away from home, but i guess i knew that the respite from the wts would end.
tuesdays are the day my wife has her personal bible study with the sister and she has also had the husband come over on tuesday afternoons so the son can have the pleasure of a bible study (which he loathes, he is a high school junior and has no interest in this stuff).
i get home from work late, after a fairly long day and the guy is still there.

Ive only read the 1st page so far, but from what Ive read...I dont expect he'll ask you to contribute to conversations much in the future...lol. Not unless he's done a stack of research and feels armed to support his theories. You have nothing to worry about, no damage control. As long as you're not baptised, you have nothing to fear.
